hastert had some unkind words saying i don't want to be critical of john, but you don't ever bring something to the floor if you don't have the votes. did the speaker miscalculate and do you think he'll be challenged for the speakership? >> no, he's not going to be challenged for the speakership. he didn't bring it to the floor. he decided not to, but he could have if they had had even 30 democrats willing to say i'll do what nancy pelosi said we should do and that plan brk would have passed. it would have demonstrated we were willing to put revenue on the table and got the wheels gree greased a little bit for a negotiation. >> john harwood tweeted this. he said gop house members and colleagues, i blame most of this on a block of about 50 members who have the political judgment god gave a goose. do you think the far right of your party is a big part of the problem in washington right now? >> i think the extremes on both sides are a big part of the problem right now. and i've got a lot of respect for the men and women who are representing voters in their district who are telling them this. bu

but the biggest obstacles is the hastert rule in the house. it has always been hard to see bill that a majority of house republicans would vote for that would be acceptable to president obama. so in many ways, i felt for really months, the only two choices were going over the cliff or abandoning that hastert rule and john boehner being willing to bring up a bill that could be passed by democratic votes, not passed by the majority of republicans. sounded a little more optimistic on the relative gauge we have than over the last couple of weeks. >> they're now running out of venues to discuss this. they discussed it at the white house. tried to get a deal between speaker boehner and president obama. now it's gone to the senate. harry reid and mitch mcconnell will try to work something out. after that, they have run out of both time and places to go for a deal. >> right. most of the time, when there's stalemate, it's tougher for the democrats than republicans because democrats are the party of activist government. they want things to happen. when

now, that's something that republicans since the days of speaker hastert have insisted. a majority of the majority. you could have all the democrats and some republicans, but not a majority and pass the bill. will that happen, and john boehner was asked that this morning and did not respond. >> chris alissa, you have a situation where the democrats if they were to do that could put the republicans on the offensive? they could say we did this with democratic votes, but, of course, whatever they do is going to be painful so there's no buy-in. >> you know, in a way i think a lot of democrats celebrated last night when they saw that the plan b wasn't even bringing brought to the floor. i would say yes and no. this does still have to go through a republican controlled house. can you peel off 20 or 25 republicans and have john boehner and eric cantor agree to bring up a bill that is going to be worse from a republican perspective than the one they just voted down last night? do they agree to that or not, and what is that -- if they do agree to it, does that further erode john

option one is boehner has to violate the hastert rule. there is no place where these diagrams overlap. no place where president obama could sign that a majority of house republicans could support. either he can break that, do a deal primarily with votes along the line of a deal that president obama offered him. or going over the cliff and republicans can vote to cut taxes. >> we'll talk about this all morning. what happened last night, big story today. up next, really incredible images, floodwaters during sandy, the images that tell a story the way only a photo can. a look back at the year in pictures, ahead. and i relieve nasal congestion. overachiever.

and the clock is clearly ticking, he has to convince not a majority of the majority, the so-called hastert roll but whatever he can to get enough votes, period drawing from nancy pelosi's caucus and his own to get this true. >> how severe do you think the backlash would be against republicans, especially say looking forward to 2014, midterm elections? >> well, polls seem to show that most people will blame republicans for this if we go over the cliff. they already have this reputation of being obstructists and the spending cuts about by the way, i don't think they're going to do anything about that now. so i think these spending cuts are going to go into effect at least in the january. so that means i think if there's such a thing as going partially over the cliff, i think we'll probably do that. so $1.2 trillion spread out over ten years, that begin in january. unless they can find a way to avert that. of course, about half of that comes down on the military side. so you've got a lot of people in that sector and others who are very nervous about the spending cuts. i don't think they're go
